Administrators' newsletter – August 2020
News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2020).
- There is an open request for comment to decide whether to increase the minimum duration a sanction discussion has to remain open (currently 24 hours).
- Speedy deletion criterion T2 (template that misrepresents established policy) has been repealed following a request for comment.
- Speedy deletion criterion X2 (pages created by the content translation tool) has been repealed following a discussion.
- There is a proposal to restrict proposed deletion to confirmed users.
Could you please undelete this category, although it was empty for over 7 days there is discussion at Talk:Cults, Aberdeen#Village or Suburb about this. Given that the person who objected hasn't replied for over a week now I think I should re add the categories and if they think the category/classification as being inappropriate they can file a CFD, see also discussion at Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion#Where does it actually say you should not just empty a category you don't like?, thanks.

Deletion of World Award for Sustainability page
Hi Liz,
Why did you delete this page? [3]
There's another page linking to it, and the link is broken. That's what got me wondering what happened to the page. I am further puzzled by the lack of entry in the log. According to the above page, the deletion happened 15:57, 5 December 2019, and there is no entry at that time.
See [4]
I hope you can shed some light on this situation. Thanks.
Feeline (talk) 13:08, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
Thank you Liz
Hello Miss Liz
Thank you for deleting the empty page on my request of Nick Wrenn. I have a question i made a draft Draft:Nick Wrenn but the article was pending as of now so today i decided to publish the article direct but i was confused now if the article is accepted will it be move to the same page which you have deleted?
Memon KutianaWala (talk) 19:22, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
I know my draft was sitting around for a while but I was planning on writing this article on the Draft:Nicéphore Niépce's House Museum soon! Anyway you could revert it? Thanks! --Wil540 art (talk) 15:32, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi Liz, this redirect was left after a merger, so to preserve the history it should not have been deleted. Thanks, postdlf (talk) 18:49, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
- Okay, postdlf, I have restored it upon request. But it looks like a mistake in the title. Liz Read! Talk! 19:00, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
Re: Draft:GadgetIn
Hello, Liz/Archive 32
I actually often edit Wikipedia in Indonesian compared to other languages
I also translated this GadgetIn from Indonesian to English ... so I also used Indonesian references.
but I try to find Gadgetin references in English (I don't promise)
Fahri talk📬 02:12, 20 August 2020 (UTC) Translate by Google
- Hello, Fahriahmad306,
- As long as you are working on the draft, it shouldn't be deleted. Again, I recommend certain websites out there that cover YouTube channels and social media. They might have a coverage of GadgetIn. Your references doesn't have to be in English. It seems like a very popular channel in Indonesia. Liz Read! Talk! 02:18, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hello, Liz/Archive 32
In my opinion, the reference is from the article GadgetIn Trusted in Indonesia. Indeed, in England people rarely watch the channel, hmm, can I return the draft to a regular article? I think that's enough. Because I also made it in Indonesia which is trending again and with the slogan "Halo, guys David disini" (Hello, guys David here) so I wrote it and I also took news references in my opinion and trusted. Fahri talk📬 13:23, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hello, Liz/Archive 32
@Liz: Can I submit and check the draft? I thought that was pretty good. I just don't know the British view. Is that enough or not. but please check the draft :) Fahri talk📬 01:57, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
Transportation categories
Re the empty "Transport" (sic) categories by decade, someone else is reorganizating the Railway and Transport company categories by year to be via Railway and Transport company categories by decade rather than being directly in the Railway and Transport company categories by century, so I suggest you wait for the reorganization to be completed.

Aftermath of Jacob Blake shooting
Hi, just wondering why you locked the article at this title. The page name was moved from Kenosha riot without discussion or consensus, yet that editor has seemingly been rewarded. Thanks, WWGB (talk) 05:23, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
- I don't care what the title is. I am uninvolved. The article was being repeatedly moved over a short period of time. This is disruptive. So, there is a hold on moving this page around for 24 hours. Hopefully, you can come to an agreement by then. Don't edit war about the page location. Liz Read! Talk! 05:36, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
- I merely noted your comment "Do not move without consensus", yet that is what you condoned. I have not engaged in an "edit war". Thanks, WWGB (talk) 05:44, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
- Never mind, another admin has fixed the problem. WWGB (talk) 05:50, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

New user and copyright issues
I saw you deleted Draft:Ipo Arakeji, created by User:IPO_ARAKEJI.
I researched this earlier this week. The page it is allegedly being copied from appears to have been created on August 15 at nairaland. com/6055705/know-ipo-arakeji-not-same (space inserted due to Wikipedia spam blacklist) using content substantially identical to User:Anonymoussix/sandbox which was created on August 13 (8/13 version). While this MAY be copyright infringement with the off-wiki page's date-stamp changed to August 15th, I couldn't find anything that made proved copyright infringement.
Administrators Jimfbleak and SuperMarioMan are already involved in this so I'm pinging them on this as well.
Obviously, copyright violations have to go. My concern is that we may be scaring away a new editor who is not engaging in a copyright violation.
There are other issues with this editor and this contribution, but they can be fixed if this turns out to not be a copyright violation. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 16:41, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
18:13, 27 August 2020 Liz talk contribs deleted page User:Christinemjung/sandbox/Ethan Thomas Jung (G8: Redirect to a deleted or nonexistent page) (thank)
Good morning,
I am writing to see what I did wrong. I posted a page "Ethan Thomas Jung" for my son, Ethan, who is a young actor. I see other actors have Wikipedia pages, so I created one for Ethan (he has an IMDb page, social accounts, etc., but the last piece was a Wiki page.) However, it looks like it was deleted. Not sure where I went wrong... I am a VERY amateur Wikipedia user:)
Thanks in advance for your advice on how to get this page up correctly. And thank you for your time! I'm sure you get tons of messages and do tons of editing, so I appreciate your help.
Best, Christine Jung — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christinemjung (talk • contribs) 14:48, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Just letting you know, if you not already aware, that Dunny831 is Kingshowman, and has been doing this for years. This LTA is known for making bad NAC's to various AfDs and creating bogus sockpuppet investigations against anyone who reverts or block his edits. He seems to have a boat-load of IPs under his belt and we unfortunately can't really do much about it. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 02:19, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
